EIFS/Stucco

Artcast™ EIFS/Stucco

EIFS stands for Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems. Also called synthetic stucco, it refers to a multi-layered exterior finish that’s been used since shortly after World War II, when contractors found it to be a good repair choice for buildings damaged during the war.

EIFS can be highly detailed and is crack resistant. These systems are now available with modifications that allow them to drain in case water penetrates the system. It consists of foam sheathing covered by a highly modified basecoat with fiberglass mesh and an acrylic finish coat.
